The use of technology continues to accelerate in society. Today's learning spaces are flexible and through technology can be personalized to meet students' needs. By integrating technology, we can deepen student knowledge, understanding, and thinking while widening their learning in a global context.

Families are often seeking more information about how to use technology effectively at home to support their child's learning.

At home, families can connect digital citizenship to character education, by discussing that we want to be the same kind of person online as we do when interacting in person.Reminding our children that anything posted online is permanent is an important early lesson.
